Sterile(aseptic) technique

Aseptic technique means using practices and procedures to prevent contamination from pathogens. It involves applying the strictest rules to minimize the risk of infection. Healthcare workers use aseptic technique in surgery rooms, clinics, outpatient care centers, and other health care settings.

Cereal based fermented foods

Cereal‐based fermented foods are major contributors to energy intake in developing countries (DC). Their microbiota is dominated by lactic acid bacteria and has been extensively investigated. ... Also, the link between the food microbiota and health benefits, in particular in nutrition, should be investigated.

Snapdragon -439

Bringing popular mobile experiences to more smartphone users, the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 439 mobile platform is designed to support speedy downloads and uploads, stunning graphics and photos, and power-saving performance.

Flame photometry

Flame photometry was established by Bunsen. It is called photometry, although it is an emission technique. The correlation between the intensity and concentration is linear, and the Lambert–Beer law cannot be applied. The atoms are excited in a flame, and the intensity of the emitted light is measured.

Aeration and agitation

Aeration and agitation. ... Primary Use Aeration is to provide microorganism in submerged culture with sufficient oxygen for metabolic requirements. Agitation ensures that a uniform suspension of microbial cells is achieved in a homogenous nutrient medium. Aeration and agitation depends on fermentation.

Industrial fermentation

Industrial fermentation is the intentional use of fermentation by microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi as well as eukaryotic cells like CHO cells and insect cells, to make products useful to humans. ... Some commodity chemicals, such as acetic acid, citric acid, and ethanol are made by fermentation.

Bomb calorimeter

A bomb calorimeter is a type of constant-volume calorimeter used in measuring the heat of combustion of a particular reaction. ... Electrical energy is used to ignite the fuel; as the fuel is burning, it will heat up the surrounding air, which expands and escapes through a tube that leads the air out of the calorimeter.

Production of sauerkraut

Sauerkraut is produced through salt-controlled bacterial fermentation. Cabbage selected for sauerkraut should have at least 3.5% sugar to insure an adequate carbohydrate source for bacteria. Shredded cabbage is mixed with salt (2.25% by weight) and the final product contains an average of 1.5–2.0% lactic acid.

Staphylococcus

Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive bacterium and causative agent of wide range of infectious diseases such as skin infections, bacteremia, endocarditis, pneumonia and food poisoning.

Bergeys classification

Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology is the main resource for determining the identity of prokaryotic organisms, emphasizing bacterial species, using every characterizing aspect. A system of classification of Schizomycetes that is used by all bacteriologists and that has an international standing is “Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology”.

Influenza virus

A common viral infection that can be deadly, especially in high-risk groups. The flu attacks the lungs, nose and throat. Young children, older adults, pregnant women and people with chronic disease or weak immune systems are at high risk.

Dengue fever

Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne tropical disease caused by the dengue virus. Symptoms typically begin three to fourteen days after infection. These may include a high fever, headache, vomiting, muscle and joint pains, and a characteristic skin rash. Recovery generally takes two to seven days.
